The boys conspired, together that the next time a party of redcoats came on to the premises“they would drive them off. Of course they could not do this with staves; they must use firearms. They made loop holes In the wooden walls of the bam and gathered there a stock of muskets and ammunition. “The first thinaftthe old man knew he heard firing in the direction o f the barn. Looking out through a window, he saw-, half a dozen soldiers chasing his chickens about and puffs o f smoke emanating from the sides of the bam. He understood what was going on and, stepping out on to the roof of the front; porch, called out in a loud voice to his sons: “ ‘Boys, cease this firing! It is better that every chicken in the yard should be taken than one drop of blood should be-drawn!’ - “ But either the boys did not hear him or i f they did they paid no attention to his command. One o f the soldiers fell, and Uls comrades ceased chasing the chickens and turned their attention -to-those—In-the barn. The troopers had short guns with them, for thej were mounted men. and they began e fusillade, whlcb-drew-a more rapld-flFt from my uncle and my father In the barn. 0 “The old gentleman, when he found that he could not stop his boys fight ing, stalked back and forth ou the porch roof, struggling with his desire to enter the fray himself. After a -time—he w e n t-Into the house and brought out his rifle, but got the better of his pugnacity, stood the gun up against the 'bouse and resumed his walk. It was said that his lips moved In prayer to be saved from the sin of fighting. “ One of the girls. Prudence, was in the barn with her brothers, and she was firing through a loophole. The Johnstons’ ammunition was running low, and if notreplenished they would lose the fight. * Prudence volunteered to run the gantlet to ' the house and 'bring them more powder and lead, urging upon her brothers that the sol diers'would not shoot a woman. They finally consented, and, emerging from the door, she ran like the wind to the house. “The old rnan saw her coming and surmised what for. He shouted to her to run fast and at the same time, for getting .himself, used unseemly lan guage to the soldiers, who were firing at her. Presently she stumbled and fell. Her father seized his rifle and. leaping from the roof, ran toward the Possibly he thougnt it non soldiers. quite so sinful to use his gun as a club as to fire It ..At any rate, he ran In among the soldiers, his blows falling on them with the- rapidity of lightning and the weight of a sledgehammer. Several of them fell with broken skulls, and. the rest took to their heels. T “Now, my grandfather'h'avingnlriven them off, there was no need for him to. commit a further sin by following them. But he did. and, since he could run faster than they, he kept well up with them and brought his rifle down on one o f them with such force that the stock was'shivered.j , “ The fight being over, the boys and girl*' went to .. the , assistance of the grounded and with, difficulty prevented their .'fath e r , from „dispatching them. However; they carried-them all Into the house and 1 attended to their wounds, nearly-all o f which had been given them b y Mr. Forgivlng Johnston. : ‘ T h o e e soldiers who got away report ed the trouble, and an .aide.to General Ho.we-went out toth e farm to look into it He reported that the men bad got just what they- deserved. . ..“My grandfather never got over for- igettlng his, principles of nonresistance. He \ c o u ld - n o t after that endure his name Forgiving’,'s o he changed It to Forgetful.” . A coach load of tourists were “do- ilng\ the National - park. -There -were ,-young ladies and elderly men and-wo men, but few young men. - Indeedr,the^ only two unmarried men were a couple of Englishmen, tlip-_one, Harrington, -evidently a gentleman; the- other,, .Mudge, of the ordffiary-type of cock ney, and an American - commercial traveler named Meriweather. - ' Meriweather took up^with Mudge. and the two fell to talking oM b e dis position of rich American'girls to buy British titled husbands. ; .-Merlweather .was a bit of a wag?.and when one of the girls of the party, asked for in for mation about Mudge told\ her that he was Lord Angleford, traveling. Incog. “ But,” he added, ; “ hC’ll not acknowl edge to anything more than plain Alex ander Mudge. There’s ho 'use trying not try if I were you.\ Nevertheless this young lady, Miss Gwendolen Stewart, ..who was of. an age when It Is sweet to do what Is forbidden, addressed- Mr.. Mudge . as Lord Angleford, much to that gentle man's astonishment Of course he de fie d the impeachment, but that had no effect on the young lady.- _“ “ Do~you~kifow;,,-'she~sald~to'~MrrHar;i rington, “that we have one of your countrymen, a lord, among us?\ . “ No,\ replied the Britisher, evidently ‘much Interested. “ Which one?” “He who calls himself Mudge.” Harrington repressed a smile. “ You seem Incredulous.” “ Oh, I know nothing about the man. We are .not traveling together. We are simply fellow members of this ex cursion by accident.” “ Of course,- now that you know that he is one of your privileged class, you\ will treat him with great respect.” “Certainly. I’ll be very deferential,\ replied Harrington, with a twinkle In his eye. Meriweather did not inform Mr Mudge that he had started the report about him, and Mudge-was at a loss to discover where it came from. In spite of his denial he was treated by the whole party with deference, sev eral of the girls vieing with each other for his favor. However, Miss Stewart seemed rather inclined to favor Har rington. Harrington certainly sa&mc-d Inclined to faVor her. She had all^ the sprightliness, the humor, the lnde pendente, of an American girl and was withal coriiely. Excursions are espe cially adapted to love affairs, and in this case all these two required to fall in' lover was •\’to .^ej/tfirownf'together The' party-' remained' In the park for some time and became quite like one family. One day Mudge showed some atten tion to Miss Stewart Harrington saw\ plainly-that he was not-in- favor with- her, but, pretending jealousy, said to her: —'‘‘WbatrTsvifabout_aTitle~tbnt- l3-Btr attractive to you Americans?” “ Why do you ask?” “ Oh, .1 observed how pleased you were when this nobleman Incog, join ed you this morning! I felt like a pen ny alongside half a crown.” “His lordship is very agreeable,” she replied, looking-up at him archly. ~ - “ Which do you mean, the lord or the man?\ “ If there is.enough of the lord to outweigh the man, what matters it?” ' “ The Anglefords are an old family and, I believe, are large landholders in England. I fancy to be Lady Angle ford a^girl might marry a man of- wood.” . “Why discuss the matter? , Quite likely Lord Angleford Is expected to marry -some nobleman's daughter -In ■ England, and none of us American, girls who are not the Hon. Miss So.- and-so~ will be Invited to become my lady.” However, the next time Mudge sidled up to Miss Stewart she went back on all she had said, for she gave him the grand freeze, much to Mr. Harrington's delight. The-mext day several of the party, Including Mudge and Meriweather. proceeded on their way.. The immediate party to which Miss Stewart belonged after leaving the park took train for the east. Harrlng- ton, who was golng-ln-the-gnme-dlree- tlon, joined them, or, rather, he Joined Miss Stewart, the affair between them having become by this time quite evi dent. During the journey his devotion to her' rather increased than dimin ished, and by the time they reached the .eastern border It was supposed theyrwere-engaged. --------- - - The, truth was that Harrington had proposed,' but MIA Stewart had de ferred giving hhn an answer until her father had been consulted and Mr. Harrington’s standing in England so cially and as a man could be investi gated. He promised on reaching New- York to bring a friend who would vouch for him, after whlchthe voucher might-be confirmed In England. The day after^their arrival Harrington\ call ed, with his friend, who said: “This la-Edward'Harrington, oldest sonr_of„ the„Marquis of. Cragmore, a Scotch -title dating back to -1542.

If they had really wished more time for the consideration of the hill, could have obtained it by means of a fili buster, a recognized senatorial weapou, and adds: . “ Why did not the Republican sena tors resort to it and get all the time for deliberation' they wanted? What was Candidat* Hughes doing that h* did-not mak* the wires hot with mes sages to Washington—warning against the law the savanty-four Republican representatives. who voted for it and urging the twenty-eight Republican •enators to filibuster to the last ditch? “ But neither he nor the Republican leaders generally bad the nerve to face the situation. With ample means lu their hands to prevent legislation until after its1 due consideration, they delib erately elected that It should appear to be enacted under coercion iunnuer that after the great national deliverance bad been effected they might object to the mode of its accomplishment. - “A pettier and more ignoble game of politics'never was conceived.

European war. ■ Second—To-Insist upon the exist ence and vitality of international law as determining Its own status as a neutral, and defining its rights and obligations as such. Third—To deal with the Mexican situation in a spirit of perfect fair-, ness and friendliness to the Mexi- ' can peoplemow sufferlng from civ il «dissensions and- revolution to an extent \vhlcb leaves a large part of the country In a state of anarchy.
